After pulling off the mask, an old man's wrinkled face was revealed, his brows were furrowed, his eyes were cold, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
According to the rules of Dark Dragon Pavilion, after meeting the person who placed the order, the contact person should go to the headquarters to report clearly the information of the person who placed the order and what to do, and finally publish it to see if anyone will come next.
However, the contact person who always acted according to the rules didn't know what happened today. He actually stayed in the yard for a long time, seemingly hesitating for something, but he didn't leave until the end.
To say that this small shop and courtyard are really a familiar place, it is also a place no one would have imagined. Mu Qingqiu's Medical Clinic. Who would have guessed that a place used to treat illnesses and save lives during the day would actually be a stronghold occupied by a killer organization at night
What's more, there is a hidden passage in this courtyard that can directly reach the headquarters of Dark Dragon Pavilion.
After Princess Zhaoyan's birthday party, Yan Ling stayed in the house and studied some medical books that Mu Qingqiu left for her.
Perhaps it was because he had known medicinal herbs for a long time, and Yan Ling was also very interested in this aspect, so he learned it very quickly. But after all, Yan Ling was just studying on his own, and there were many things he couldn't understand. He could only plan to wait until Mu Qingqiu came back to ask.
Just over a month later, Yan Ling heard the news that Mu Qingqiu had come back from someone he didn't know. He packed his things and planned to pay a visit.
As for Bai Xueying, after waiting and waiting for no news about Yan Ling's accident, she may have gradually given up. After that, Bai Xueying went to the alley to wait, but she didn't see anyone there. On one occasion, she was thought to be a female ghost by a watchman on the street.
Although Bai Xueying was a little dissatisfied when this matter failed, she didn't seem to be too angry. After all, Bai Xueying had already begun to hesitate when they met before. Although she gritted her teeth and sat down, there was no result now, which was not a too bad ending for Bai Xueying.
When Yan Ling arrived at Mu Qingqiu's medical clinic, Mu Qingqiu was sitting on a chair drinking tea. When he saw Yan Ling, he was stunned at first, and then called Yan Ling to come to him.
Originally he planned to ask questions, but after seeing Mu Qingqiu's hesitant expression, Yan Ling became a little curious. Yan Ling had never seen anything that could make his master look like this. .
After being a little uneasy, Yan Ling finally couldn't help but ask: "Master, what happened to make you look like this?"
Seeing that Yan Ling had noticed, Mu Qingqiu did not continue to cover up, but looked at Yan Ling with deep meaning.
After a while, Mu Qingqiu asked: "Has the matter from last time been completely resolved?"
Yan Ling seemed to be stunned for a while before he realized that what his master said last time was referring to his assassination, and he smiled calmly.
"Last time, he lost most of his manpower, but he has been much more at ease since then. He has never caused any trouble for me." Yan Ling said naturally.
Of course, Bai Xueying could not be considered peaceful. After all, she planned to drug Yan Ling at Princess Zhaoyan's banquet. However, in Yan Ling's view, such a thing was nothing compared to suicide. There was no need to tell Mu Qingqiu to worry about her.
However, after saying this, Yan Lingzhu didn't relax when he saw Mu Qingqiu's expression, and suddenly felt that something was wrong again.
"Master, do you know something else?" Yan Ling suddenly became serious and asked with a frown.
Mu Qingqiu sighed, there was nothing to hide from his apprentice, not to mention that Yan Ling was going behind Yan Ling's back in the first place.
"I have a friend who is from a killer organization. He told me clearly that just a month ago, someone wanted to buy your life." Mu Qingqiu frowned and said, with a slight hesitation in his tone. .
Yan Ling was shocked when he heard this, and then heard Mu Qingqiu continue: "Because you are my apprentice, this order to buy your life was suppressed and was not conveyed. But since you have already had murderous intentions, , I’m afraid we won’t let it go.”
Yan Ling frowned and continued to ask: "Master, does he know what the person who wants to buy my life looks like? Is he a man or a woman?"
Mu Qingqiu seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then continued: "She is a woman. I can't tell you too much information, but you can think about the people you have made enemies with recently."
Yan Ling naturally understood that what Mu Qingqiu could tell him was already the limit. What's more, after talking about it now, even if Yan Ling didn't say who the murderer was, he knew it clearly.
Yan Ling has only had conflicts or feuds with two women recently. One of them is his good sister Yan Shuang, and the other is Bai Xueying from Bai Yushi's house.
Although Yan Shuang and Yan Ling had some conflicts, according to Yan Shuang's current courage, he could not buy a murderer to kill someone. After all, Yan Shuang had already been punished for doing something wrong before, and now she didn't dare to act rashly.
Then apart from that, there is only one Shirayuki Sakura left. Although Yan Ling didn't know how he offended her, he could see that she and he were incompatible with each other.
If it were Bai Xueying, Yan Ling wouldn't find anything strange at all. However, just like what Mu Qingqiu said, even if they knew that one of them was in the light and the other was in the dark.
Bai Xueying will not give up so easily, so there will definitely be other ways. Even if she is careful, she will be at a loss what to do when she is completely confused.
Seeing Yan Ling's eyebrows almost twisting together, Mu Qingqiu couldn't help but said, "What are you thinking about here alone? Where is that kid Liang He? Let him help you solve it!"
After Mu Qingqiu said this, he seemed to feel quite dissatisfied.
Yan Ling shook his head helplessly and smiled, thinking, what does this have to do with Liang He? However, Mu Qingqiu said it was indeed true. Yan Ling could not solve this matter by herself, so she would definitely have to discuss it with Liang He.
"Master, you are right, you do need to tell him, but what is the name of that killer organization? And who is in charge of it? I have to ask clearly, at least I have some clues." Yan Ling asked.
She didn't know if it was Yan Ling's misunderstanding, but she always felt that Mu Qingqiu's expression suddenly changed after hearing these words. Everyone was hesitant, and even at the end they didn't say anything.
Yan Ling felt a little strange, but he didn't ask any more questions. He had another thought in his mind, but he still needed to confirm it.
